You can find all of that at www.undercoverarchitect.com/317. This episode begins as we continue discussing Louise and Zane’s expectations about when they want to start construction, and me sharing some challenging feedback about those expectations. Plus, I also make suggestions about their next steps, and we talk about the best way to begin when you’re exploring whether to go out with an extension or up with a second storey.  We also discuss whether a builder or designer can have too many projects on the go at once, and I share the best way to shape your approach when first speaking to designers, architects and builders.
